Berry Playground

This repo and the corresponding discussions have been created to help Tasmota Berry code developers.

The repo is in its infancy (6/4/23) so not surprisingly there are not a lot of contributions yet. This is where you come in!

Discussions

By creating this repo "Discussions" was also created. Now Berry developers have another place to ask questions, get help, and make contributions as regards Tasmota Berry coding.

https://github.com/tasmota/Berry_playground/discussions

Alternatively you might try

• Tasmota Reddit - general tasmota questions (but you can try asking Berry questions here)
• Tasmota Berry Discord - ( this is where Tasmota Berry dev's hang out so limit your use to when you can get no love here)

Contributions

Folder Guide

your contributed folder needs to have a README.md file

in the README.md file you need at least

• a link to download your folder. see how
• a clear explanation of the files in your contribution and how to use them
• a link back to the parent README.md file [return](../README.md)
